During the 19th century, anatomists and surgeons needed an ever- increasing amount of bodies to advance their research in the study of human anatomy, and, as a result, the dead body trade boomed. Individuals turned to body snatching (digging up graves to extract the body) and selling them to make a neat profit—these people became known as resurrectionists.

The British government introduced the Anatomy Act of 1832 in an attempt to increase the availability of bodies for medical schools and put a stop to body snatching and murder. The Act ended the use of dissection as a punishment for murder and allowed unclaimed bodies from public institutions, such as hospitals and workhouses, to be used for dissection instead.

However, the Act did not fix the shortage of bodies, and the low supply was still not enough to satisfy, especially in London. As the Victorian era plunged ahead in its pursuit of science and innovation and the need for bodies increased and increased, the dead body trade became a complex and dangerous feature of everyday life.

Boy, that is fantastic! Wonder who this Raches is -- looks like an ironically recycled yiddish word. But of course there's room to hate both hellholes -- notably because they're always in cahoots in destroying happiness and innocence worldwide.

Raches introduces himself or herself

He tells us basically nothing about himself, but rather funly -- "Domesticated anthropoid livestock who exist for the benefit of nobler beings, such as rhymes with triggers."
